Car icon Obtaining a Driver Record

Driver records may be obtained via our online service and may be viewed immediately upon purchase. Acceptable methods of payment are credit card or an electronic check, and the fee per record request is $7.50 (payable by U.S. funds).

(Note: CDL medical and self-certification information is not available through this service.)

To obtain a driving record by mail or in person, you must complete and submit an  Application for Copy of Driving Record to this office at the address indicated on the application form. The application must be completed in full and must be submitted with the appropriate fee for each record requested. (Note: CDL medical and self-certification information is available through this service.)

Businesses and individuals wishing to obtain more than one driving record, and whose reason for requesting the records of individuals other than themselves meets one of the appropriate exempted uses defined in the Act, may:

  1. Use the Online Driver License Record Administration system. Read more about this Nebraska.gov Subscription Service.
  2. Submit a paper request. Attach a list with the required information for each record requested to an  Application for Copies of MULTIPLE Driving Record (this form may only be used for MULTIPLE driving record requests) and submit it along with the appropriate fee of $7.50 for each record requested. (Note: The listing attached to the application is retained by the DMV.)

If the request is submitted by an individual on behalf of the record holder, the name, address and signature of the individual submitting the request should be used on the application.
